  • Wall Street Gets Downbeat on Solar [View article]
    California get 15% of electricity from coal but not one coal fired powerplant exists in California.. All is imported from other states through gridlines... We will need 30-50% more coal in ten years as dozens of coal fired powerplants will be built in America.. Can solar keep up with it?? We need to find thousands and thousands of acres of raw land or rooftops to place solar modlues on... We have to climb up and down buildings to install one module by one module that delivers only 60 watts each... When you talk about gigawatts of electricty., you are talking about billions of modules.. where are they?? and Where is the place to install?? Tax breaks will not help with rooftops and land...

    There is not going to be a Energy Fairy with her magic wand and twinkling stars sprinkling all over your heads and you get a new source of energy for nothing...

    Big Oil & Gas & Firewood Is Fast Becoming Unsustainable due to the environmental issues... We cannot just sit idly and expect to somehow and suddenly have a new source of energy smack out of thin air!! What are you still doing with your trillions of dollars sitting in money market funds, huh?? No, I repeat .... we are not going back to Big Oil & Gas & Firewood at all... So what now??

  • Are First Solar's Thin Film Panels Piling Up? [View article]
    The fledging solar industry is David as compared to Goliath , the fossil fuel industry.. Come to think of that... The solar industry has yet to contribute a mere one percent to the overall energy picture in the world... You have to understand that we are paying far more to fossil fuel industry than what we are investing in solar industry. If we are going to lose money in the solar industry, it will still be relatively small as compared to money we will be paying to fossil fuel industry at gyrating prices. If the solar industry manage to take only 5% of the fossil fuel industry , fossil fuel prices will remain stagnant and unable to climb.. This is how little we need to invest in solar industry to keep the Big Mean Oil Wolf at bay... Invvestors dont care as long as no profits is seen and they dont care about your low oil prices.. They dont care what may happen to fossil fuel prices... They are after profits. Free enterprise! So what are you gonna do about it? Dont ask me! Think for yourselves..

  • Are First Solar's Thin Film Panels Piling Up? [View article]
    Probably this was why oil prices keep on falling so to make solar energy "uncompetitive". After there is a shake out in the solar industry, oil prices will climb up again and we will find ourselves short on solar producers and remains dependent on oil producers as before... This is an old capitalist trick that socialists keep on falling for... Socialists who invest in solar energy are counting on high oil prices for profits and capital gains, but socialists are not smart enough to know that low oil prices wont last... Socialists do not understand risks and rewards... Even if oil prices keep low for a long time, we will save more money than we would with profits from solar industries dependent on high oil prices. The problem is who will pay to investors who hold solar stocks at a loss in order to stem oil prices from climbing higher.. Who will ? Capitalists wont, but someone got to pay to investors somehow... If not, our economy will remain a hostage to the oil prices..

    We kept putting off solar stocks because they used to be expensive. But now,, it is not worth any more debate on whether it is prudent to start it big... Big Oil Wolves are howling and blowing our straw houses around already... Sure a few of us pigheads built houses of brick. But they are not of our concerns.. Dont listen to those brick walled pigheads!!

  • What to Do Now With Solar Energy Stocks [View article]
    i am going to repeat this in other articles in efforts to build up readers' interest and concerns .. Readers are wasting time grumbling about CEO pay and stuff and not doing anything about stock certificates because they dont understand what stock certificates do for us... Stock certificates is not obsolete by any imagination... They are proofs that we have shares and nobody can touch our shares for any other purposes.. Am I making myself clear to you or what?? 99.99% of readers dont seem to understand it...

  • What to Do Now With Solar Energy Stocks [View article]
    We could have electronic stock certificates by now with our computers now everywhere, but Wall Street is not in any hurry to offer that... If you complain about CEOs making millions, then your weapon is stock certificates!!! First, all of you who have mutual fund shares,you go call mutual fund managers and tell them off!! I dont care if it means more workloads for mutual fund managers... Those managers are so lazy!!

  • What to Do Now With Solar Energy Stocks [View article]
    Get stock certifcates now!! This will prevent short sellers from shorting YOUR SHARES! Stock certifcates is the most misunderstood financial vehicle of all times!!! Call your mutual fund managers and ask them whether they hold stock certificates or not! You can threaten to move to another mutual fund that holds stock certifcates!! This will get their attention and get their lazy asses off the chairs !! It is much more difficult for individual investors to hold stock certificates because of too much hassle .. unless an individual investor owns more than $10,000 worth in any stock... Mutual fund managers has no excuse for not getting stock certifcates for their large portfolios of stocks worth billions .. Starve the short sellers.. limit their shorts to less than a few percent of each stock ..iinstead of 10-50% ... which is a disaster !!
